Hello ladies! I have been on this forum on and off since I was 19! I am a week away from my 24th birthday, so that's a long time to be on here without showing too much progress. I was active until about April on here and then life took over. I got engaged April 10th, graduated college with my BA May 22nd, got married August 21st, and moved across country from California to North Carolina. Now that I am all settled in I am ready to kick my own butt and finally reach the goal that I have wanted to for all these years but always made an excuse not to.

First I used weight as a comfort blanket, telling myself that I'd lose weight when I found someone who really loves me for who I am and not my body. Ok so I found that

Second, I told myself that I was too busy with school to focus on weight loss. Ok so I graduated.

Third, I said I was too busy to really work out because I was working full time among all my other responsibilities. Ok well Im not working now.

So I am ALL out of excuses!

I've told myself all of those things, ... And... welcome back, oldbie!

(and congrats on the marriage!!)
